Lake Pichola

Warm sunrays sparkle in unison with the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.

Lake Pichola is of immense historical significance apart from its enchanting beauty that mingles with a soft white mist that seems to shroud wondrous Udaipur.

Maharana Udai Singhji built Udaipur in this lovely valley surrounded by the Aravalli's simply because of this massive water body. The City Palace complex was constructed on the bustling banks of the placid waters of Lake Pichola, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.

Located in the middle of the main Udaipur city, the Lake Pichola occupies an area of 1.5 square kilometers. Lake Pichola is said to have got its name from a tiny village Picholi that flourished on the banks of this massive lake.

Feast your eyes on panoramic vistas of bathing ghats, embankments, shrines and palaces that sparkle with the glistening Lake Pichola with the enthralling Aravalli's in the backdrop.

Enjoy boat cruises on the tranquil Lake Pichola, sail towards the luxurious marble Lake Palace located right in the middle of this dreamlike paradise or cruise to the Jag Mandir palace located on a tiny island, quite like a stray pearl glistening in all its glory.
